Feyenoord director Dennis te Kloese will depart the club on July 1, 2026, after 4.5 years in his role, following a mutual decision with the Supervisory Board.
Te Kloese has combined the roles of general and technical director since the summer of 2022. His exit leaves Feyenoord without anyone in either position, a situation made more difficult by the earlier departure of technical manager Mark Ruijl.
Te Kloese appears to be heading for a new challenge. While he told ESPN that nothing was yet underway, reports from Mexico suggest he is being considered as the next technical director of CF Monterrey.
Robert Eenhoorn is seen as a key candidate to take over from Te Kloese as general director. On the sporting side, Carlos Aalbers of NEC had already been linked to the role of technical director.
His exit comes after a challenging sporting spell, during which Te Kloese faced significant criticism and even personal threats following poor results after the appointment of Robin van Persie as manager.
Te Kloese was partly responsible for a successful period for the club when Arne Slot was the first team manager. Feyenoord won the Eredivisie title, the KNVB Cup, and reached the UEFA Conference League final during this time.
But he was held responsible by Feyenoord fans for the disappointing results in the last two seasons since Slot left. Brian Priske was hired to replace Slot, but the Dane was sacked in February due to disappointing results.
